Short Course Training Programme

Online Short Course Booking Form »

As an alliance representing our members, decha strives to provide a gateway to quality funded training for the Independent & Voluntary Care Sector. Incorporated into this training programme are training courses related to working in various areas of the care sector. We hope that the courses will enable your staff to develop their skills and help them to provide a high standard of care in your workplace: in turn, making a positive difference, enriching the lives and quality of life of your service users.

The decha team has put a lot of care, attention and time in trying to ensure we capture as much of your training needs as we possibly can, with the limited funding available.

Decha hopes that along with gaining knowledge, skills and understanding that your staff thoroughly enjoys the courses on offer and the opportunity to meet other decha members from the social care and health sector.

The short course programme outlines the training timetable of short courses followed by course outlines.

These are organised by decha and are delivered through various trainers at a wide variety of venues in County Durham. Nominations and bookings for these courses are taken directly through decha. These courses are funded; however the short course agreement must be strictly adhered to.

Courses are usually arranged for groups of 20 and are delivered as either a full or half day session (course times vary - please see timetables for details). Complimentary refreshments and lunch are provided for full day courses and refreshments only during half day courses.

To access the short course programme please download the programme from the electronic library. To book a place on a course please complete the online Booking Form.
